Practical aspects of monochromators developed for transmission electron microscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
A few practical aspects of monochromators recently developed for transmission electron microscopy are briefly reviewed. The basic structures and properties of four monochromators, a single Wien filter monochromator, a double Wien filter monochromator, an omega-shaped electrostatic monochromator and an alpha-shaped magnetic monochromator, are outlined. The advantages and side effects of these monochromators in spectroscopy and imaging are pointed out. A few properties of the monochromators in imaging, such as spatial or angular chromaticity, are also discussed.

New techniques in electron energy-loss spectroscopy and energy-filtered imaging.
This article is a survey of hardware and software advances that promise to increase the power and sensitivity of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-filtered imaging (EFTEM) in a transmission electron microscope. Recent developments include electron-gun monochromators, lens-aberration correctors, and software for spectral sharpening, spectral processing and interpretation of fin...
متن کاملLimits to the spatial, energy and momentum resolution of electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
We discuss various factors that determine the performance of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-filtered (EFTEM) imaging in a transmission electron microscope. Some of these factors are instrumental and have undergone substantial improvement in recent years, including the development of electron monochromators and aberration correctors. Others, such as radiation damage, delocal...
متن کاملHigh-energy-resolution monochromator for aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy/electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
An all-magnetic monochromator/spectrometer system for sub-30 meV energy-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy in the scanning transmission electron microscope is described. It will link the energy being selected by the monochromator to the energy being analysed by the spectrometer, without resorting to decelerating the electron beam. This will allow it to attain spectral energy stability...
متن کاملLattice Imaging in Transmission Electron Microscopy
With the resolution becoming sufficient to reveal individual atoms, high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) can now compete with X-ray and neutron methods to determine quantitatively atomic structures of materials, with the advantage of being applicable to non-periodic objects such as crystal defects. An introduction to the theory and practical aspects of HREM is given. Principles of other l...
متن کاملA STUDY ON ULTRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF SEED DORMANCY IN WILD OATS
The structural differences between dormant and nondormant seeds of wild oats (Avena ludoviciana Durieu) were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. Radial elongation of scutellum epithelial cells were observed in nondormant seeds after imbibition, compared with dormant seeds in which cells were completely compressed. Ultrastructural differences for example, dilution of cytopla...
